The few soldiers who fled back to Guzang City with the candidate and Liang Xing were naturally deliberately let go by Tian Yu, otherwise with the five thousand infantry that Gao Shun stopped at the mouth of the valley, who would be able to pass through alive?

There is also a letter on these soldiers, which was written by Tian Yu to Han Sui.

Tian Yu wrote in the letter: "Originally, I asked the candidate and Liang Xing to deliver the message on their behalf, but after letting the two go, I suddenly realized that they might not report it because they were afraid of you, so I put a few inconsequential soldiers to report to you." Your son-in-law, Yan Xing, was very brave and resourceful in battle, but unfortunately he was not manpowered, and he was finally captured alive by us. If you want him to live, you will exchange Zhang Heng and Cheng Yi for it, and we will only wait for three days!"

After reading the letter, Han Sui immediately ordered someone to arrest the candidate and Liang Xing who had just left, and then found a letter written by Tian Yu from the candidate's arms. What made Han Sui feel depressed was that Tian Yu asked in the first letter to exchange Cheng Yin and Li Kan for Yan Xing, but in the second letter, he asked for Zhang Heng and Cheng Yi to exchange for Yan Xing.

Han Sui, who is known for his resourcefulness and city government, pondered carefully for a long time, but still didn't know which two of the four people Cheng Yin, Li Kan, Zhang Heng, and Cheng Yi might have different intentions. Now the troops in Guzang City, although there is no obvious sign of wavering, but the morale of the army is unstable, especially some middle-level officers who have followed Ma Teng and Pang De, although they do not say it, but they are secretly doubting whether Ma Teng was assassinated by the people sent by Zhao Xing.

An obvious question stayed in the minds of the generals, and it has been lingering for three months: If it was really Zhao Xing who sent someone to plot against Ma Teng, why did he let Ma Chao lead the army back to Xiliang to seek revenge? Why did Pang De break away from the Zhenxi General's Mansion and join Zhao Xing?

Knowing that his generals were suspicious, Han Sui still had to coax and deceive them, and he didn't dare to clear them. Because Han Sui is very clear about the truth of "one fence with three piles, one hero with three gangs", the two people who are absolutely loyal to him are Cheng Gongying and Yan Xing, but it cannot be said that the rest of the generals are all ill-intentioned. If Ma Teng hadn't been suspicious and listened to Han Sui's "bad idea", he would have to do something to clean up and rectify, and he would not have put everyone in danger, and finally destroyed his foundation and was conspired to death by his generals.

The worried Han Sui sat alone in Ma Teng's study in the past, with a lot of unwillingness and regret in his heart. At the beginning, because of his momentary ambition, Han Sui listened to the instigation of the envoy sent by Liu Bei, and designed to kill Ma Teng, thinking that he would be able to hold a heavy army from now on, but the development of events made him feel more and more desperate. What the imperial court promised at the beginning, except for the fulfillment of the title General Zhenxi, nothing else is missing. Huangfu Song of Chang'an has no intention of making a move against Liang State so far, Guan Yu and Jia Xu sent troops to block the passage from Wuwei to the Sili region, and food and supplies could not be transported in, so they were consumed with the army of the Jin State, and there was only a dead end.

Sometimes, Han Sui even thinks that if he didn't take that step at the beginning, but defected to Zhao Xing, how could he now rely on his ability to protect the country/army and do a good job, it seems that he can benefit a lot more than the false name of General Zhenxi?

It's a pity that the key step in life is in the wrong direction, and even if you use your life to make up for it in the future, it may be difficult to get a happy ending.

Now Han Sui has reached the point of desperation.

Just when Han Sui was saddened, the shadow team members lurking in Guzang City hurried to take action. They took advantage of the night to throw a few secret letters into the accounts of Cheng Yin, Li Kan, Zhang Heng, Cheng Yi and others, and then spread some rumors and gossip among Han Sui's army. What "Ma Chao with tens of thousands of troops has already taken the city, Luanniao, Cangsong City, and will soon come to attack Guzang"; The food in the city was only enough for the soldiers and civilians to feed for ten days"; Some generals in the army are plotting to sacrifice the city" and so on, anyway, what they said has noses and eyes, and the truth and falsehood are mixed together, so that those who have heard it are convinced.

Cheng Yin and the others watched the candidate and Liang Xing come out of Han Sui's mansion during the day, and the brothers were about to drink for the two brothers who could survive under Ma Chao's gun, but the candidate and Liang Xing were arrested by a team of guards after a while. This strange situation frightened Cheng Yin and the other four people, so they quietly returned to the camp of their army.

At night, after several people had fallen asleep, they suddenly heard some movement in the crack of the door, and when they turned over and touched the door with their knives, there was no movement outside, but they found a secret letter stuffed in from under the crack in the door.

The content of the letter received by several people is roughly the same, which means that they are persuaded to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, find a way to take down Han Sui and Cheng Gongying, make up for their mistakes, and be able to have a good background in the Xiliang Army in the future. The letter also made it clear that Ma Teng's death had nothing to do with them, the mastermind was Han Sui, and the accomplices were Yan Xing, Candidate, Liang Xing and Cheng Gongying, so everyone couldn't go all the way with Han Sui.

Although the content of the letter is short and simple, every sentence speaks to the hearts of Cheng Yin, Li Kan, Zhang Heng and Cheng Yi. They were kept in the dark by Han Sui at the beginning, and it was too late to get off the boat after everything happened, so they had to mix in Wuwei City. Now that Ma Chao, the son of the old master, has returned to Xiliang, several people are also frightened, and they don't know what to do in the future. When Ma Chao led 3,000 iron horsemen from Wuyuan to Guzang City to save his father, he picked several generals under Dong Zhuo's command with guns in one go, and these people were deeply afraid of Ma Chao's bravery.

Several people with their own thoughts could no longer sleep at night, so they all got up together to find an old brother to open up the sulking in their hearts, and a private party naturally happened. The few people who were drunk and staggered were finally carried back by their own soldiers, but the news of their private gathering reached Han Sui's ears.

Han Sui immediately approached Cheng Gongying to secretly discuss countermeasures, wanting to hear the opinions of his advisor on how to deal with Ma Teng's old subordinates.

Cheng Gongying said with a ruthless face: "Find an opportunity to get a few people together, a few glasses of poisonous wine, and all the things are solved!"

Han Sui shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Xiliang Jun Tian Yu sent a clear letter, saying that Yan Xing fell into their hands, and we are limited to exchange two of the four people including Cheng Yin within three days, and I am still worried about who to choose." If these people are secretly executed, what will Yan Xing do?"

Cheng Gongying sighed, and then asked Han Sui: "If Brother Yanming is no longer alive now, what if Tian Yu just wants to sow discord?"

Han Sui heard Gongying's words, and immediately twisted his brows into an upside-down "Chuan" character.
